Amendment 1 adds verbiage to Clause SA56

"Evaluation Factors for Award" which clarifies whether the use of subcontractor past experience and past performance will be accepted.

No other changes were made via this amendment.

SA56 Evaluation Factors for Award

The Government will make award to the contractor offering the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer. The Government will make award to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation terms and conditions. The lowest priced responsive bid will be evaluated first, for technical acceptability. If it is found to be technically acceptable, no other proposals will be reviewed for technical acceptability. Price will be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness in accordance with AMS Policy 3.2.3.1.2 and AMS Guidance T3.2.3A1b.

In accordance with AMS Policy Section 3.2.2.3.1.2.2, Communications with Offerors, the purpose of communications is to ensure mutual understanding between the FAA and offerors about all aspects of the procurement, including the offerors' submittals/proposals. Communications with offerors may take place throughout the source selection process, through contract award, and following award as necessary. Offeror responses to Communication Items may be considered in the evaluation of an offeror’s proposal. Where communications do not result in any changes in the Government’s requirements or SIR, the Government is not required to request or accept offeror revisions.

The Government may hold one-on-one meetings with individual offerors as it pertains to their offers. One-on-one communications may continue throughout the process at the Government’s discretion. Communications with one offeror do not necessitate communications with all other offerors. All communications between the Government and offerors must be through the CO or individuals designated by the CO in writing.

Offerors must submit written communications to the CO. The FAA also reserves the right to award a contract immediately following the conclusion of evaluations and is not required to conduct discussions or negotiations with the successful Offeror or any other Offeror.

Proposals shall be evaluated as either 'acceptable' or 'unacceptable’ on the basis of the following criteria:

A. Past Experience Provide a list of no less than three (3) successful contracts that provided services of similar scope and complexity as described in the Statement of Work in this solicitation within the past five (5) years. Be specific and provide details. For each project address the following points:

a) Project Title, description, and contract number

b) Client names, phone numbers, and contact person

c) Dollar Value

d) Scope of Work in detail

e) Percentages of work subcontracted and nature of that work

f) Award and Completion dates

g) Any contractual issues or technical matters disputed, and resolution thereof

h) Any claims and resolution thereof (i.e., nature, number dollar value)

i) Any relevant information that would reflect on the offeror’s ability to meet schedule constraints

Use of Subcontractor Past Experience: An Offeror may submit past experience from a proposed subcontractor to meet or supplement this requirement. However, subcontractor experience may only be submitted if:

1. The subcontractor’s past experience directly correlates to the specific technical tasks or SOW scope they are assigned to perform under this solicitation; and

2. The Offeror submits a signed Letter of Commitment/Teaming Agreement and written authorization from the subcontractor permitting the evaluation of their past performance records.

Standard for Review: An acceptable proposal must demonstrate at least three (3) successful relevant projects in the past five (5) years similar to the current requirement. If any of the information required is not included, the Offeror will be considered non-responsive and evaluated as unacceptable. Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptable standards under this factor will result in an "UNACCEPTABLE" rating and possible elimination from further consideration for contract award. The FAA reserves the right to contact the customers listed as references, and to apply that information in its final determination.

B. Past Performance An Offeror is required to have at least three (3) Customer Satisfaction Surveys from third party references completed and submitted directly to Stephanie Pfeiff at stephanie.pfeiff@faa.gov. The CSS is attached to the solicitation announcement and is required to be used for the Past Performance Submittals.

Standard for Review: At least three (3) CSS must be received from third party references before the solicitation deadline with an average rating of Good or higher.

The FAA reserves the right to contact customers listed as references and conduct a CSS in the event there is insufficient competition due to the lack of surveys received. If the Contractor does not have an applicable performance history, then within the cover letter the Contractor must indicate the reason for such absence of past performance history and provide a proposed project management plan to ensure the quality of the services to be performed. Keep in mind that the FAA may use information other than that provided by the Contractor in connection with this solicitation and apply that information in its final determination. Any negative customer review may deem the proposal unacceptable and will be rejected from further consideration.

All submitted past performance must be strictly for the Prime Offeror

CONSIDERATION OF PRICE: The offeror must submit pricing information as prescribed in PART I – SECTION B of the Request for Offers. The Government will make award based on successful negotiation of price and conformance with solicitation terms and conditions to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer. Pricing is required for the base and each option year for each service. If full pricing is not received, the proposal will be deemed unacceptable.

The FAA will evaluate proposals for reasonableness in accordance with AMS Policy Section 3.2.3.2 and AMS Procurement Guidance Section T3.2.3. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. When determining price reasonableness, the Government reserves the right to compare the Offeror’s proposed prices to the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), to published catalog or market prices, to prior prices paid for the same or similar items and services, or as compared to any other sources. The FAA reserves the right to perform price realism and/or cost realism in accordance with AMS T.3.2.3(A)(1). The FAA reserves the right to conduct cost analysis if necessary to ensure a fair and reasonable price and to support the price realism and/or cost realism analysis. The FAA, at its sole discretion, may require additional information to conduct cost and price analysis or reject proposals lacking completeness or consistency.
